Portland, Oregon, is committing a fresh new cardinal sin: Misgendering transgender individuals after they are dead, on their death certificates. (I know you’re all simply aghast.) Leaving aside for a moment the fact that the individuals in question have shuffled off this mortal coil and are unlikely to be offended, “correcting” this situation is going to have pronounced impacts on recordkeeping in terms of monitoring both public health and crime statistics. But in the name of wokeness, at least “parts of Oregon” (as noted in the linked article) will change their coroner forms to reflect gender identity instead of (or possibly in addition to) the deceased’s actual sex. This move is only the latest in Portland’s growing history of woke initiatives to pacify the transgender community. (Oregon Live)
